>> alisyn: we want to thank organic bouquet for the flowers, on our set this weekend. >> alisyn: that is a long stemmed rose if i have ever seen one. >> they'll deliver on valentine's day, if you need a valentine's day, if you need a last-minute bouquet. captioning by, closed captioning services, inc. >> jamie: good morning, everyone a new air rain egyera in egypt, hour, egypt's military dissolved the apart and suspended the constitution. and this is part of the transition to a new government, meeting demands of protesters. and, for the first time in two-and-a-half weeks, look at tahrir square, traffic moving again, the epicenter of protests and outrage and, ultimately, after 18 days, victorious
10:01 am
celebration! great to have you with us, this morning, in america's news headquarters. >> eric: i'm eric sean, welcome to america's news headquarters for this sunday morning. jamie, you know, you said it, when the revolution is over, traffic is back! cars in tahrir square, 5:00 p.m. now in cairo and there is makes of protesters, and partiers in the square. and along with military troops and volunteer cleanup crews, trying to restore order. all signs that -- confusion in cairo and the rest of egypt as the country's leaders try to move forward, and now winding down and, leland vittert is streaming from cairo with the latest moves... >> reporter: we are 48 hours in the... we're now into 48 hours, of the second day of the egyptian government, new government that has come in and they dissolved the parliament and also, they said, suspended the constitutions. which are both big deals here and those were key protesters' demands and, clearly, the military is really making an effort here to try and get these
10:02 am
protesters out of the square, so we can get on with building a new egypt. early this morning, soldiers cleared away through tahrir square now and 48 hours after the revolution traffic is in a stand still, not because of security but congestion, as the country tries to get back to work. >> this is headacmaking it harmr the little business man, you understand? we need more money for us as little business man. >> reporter: the scars of the revolution will last a long time. you still have the burned-out buildings and there is the shrine to those who gave their lives for the democratic cause. but, things here now have a sense of normalcy in some ways and there is construction, once again, here on the ritz carlton hotel, they are trying to build and the only difference is, it is now under the watchful eye of military tanks. >> needs signify like 2 months, 3 months, after we... after we
10:03 am
have a government, after we have peace back in the streets, we need signs before people feel safe to come back to cairo. >> reporter: interesting, we have groups of people chanting and asking protesters to get out of the square, and the other people who are protesting are the police workers, which have been marginally feared and incredibly unliked here in egypt and marched here down behind me, down the nile to the information ministry office where they wanted their top police chief either kicked out or thrown in jail, depends who you listen to. and, minister of the interior stepped out, talked to him through the bullhorn and his line was, please, just give me a chance. >> eric: leland vittert. live in cairo, thank you. >> jamie: how difficult will the transition be for the new leaders of egypt, are the protesters right to be worried?
10:04 am
joining us now, ambassador john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations. it has been helpful to follow the transition, with you. and, today, when you hear that the constitution is dissolved, parliament is gone, what does it say about the transition? >> it indicates the military is fully in control but, you know, the parliament that existed got there through ricked elections and so, dismissing it is really part of moving on from mubarak, and, the constitution was a cushion reflecting the way the previous regime governed and had already been suspended by turning affairs over to the supreme council of the armed forces. so, i think both of those events are recognition of reality, and, what matters now, is what the terms are for the upcoming elections, who is allowed to participate, and, will groups that still espouse terrorism and have the capability to conduct terrorist operations, like the muslim brotherhood, be permitted
10:05 am
to participate in the elections or not? all of these things, all of these issues until remain to be resolved. >> jamie: the muslim brotherhood is the group we talked about quite a bit and they have in the past tried to be involved. in these elections. are that other groups or are they really the ones where our focus should be? >> i think they are the most dangerous, they are well organized and well disciplined and have got a clearly radical agenda, and, how great is their strength among the general population? we don't know as everybody has been saying, there never were free and fair elections in egypted and we don't know but, i think there is a dis junction between the existing opposition, political leaders who were never able to develop political institutions, parties or other institutions, to mobilize public opinion on the one hand, and, the demonstrators in tahrir square who were there without leaders themselves. and i think that is the major difficulty for the truly pro-democratic forces in egypt,
10:06 am
to be able to come up to speed quickly, to contest these elections, and not be at a real disadvantage to groups like the muslim brotherhood. >> jamie: what many of us understand, as we watch this historic events, is that the people in egypt want democracy. but, how different is the democracy that they understand and would accept from the democracy we have here in the united states? >> i think there are a lot of definitions of that word and depends what you mean by that and the military has to be taken into account as a factor here as well and they will not suddenly turn into the american-style military overnight, though i think we are pressing them in that direction. i think, looking to countries like pakistan or turkey as more analogous to the role the military will have and, we san s -- can see, the military wanted the demonstrators e es --
10:07 am
demonstrators out of tahrir square and as i see the square it looks more like the tahrir square i know. >> jamie: it seems that the mill they're while it abided by the promises they made, is not doing everything they said they would. are those legitimate complaints or concerns of the people in egypt? >> well, i don't think so, at this point. i think there's a lot to do in a very short period of time, but, i think it would be a mistake to rush to elections too quickly. because, i think that the sooner the elections are held the greater the advantage to anybody who is already well-organized and able to mobilize its supporters like the muslim brotherhood. so, by allowing a little more time, i don't think the military is impeding democracy or the expression of the legitimate views of the egyptian people and actually delay may help
10:08 am
facilitate those views being more fairly expressed. >> it is so fascinating to follow, ambassador, thanks for joining us this sunday morning. >> thank you, jamie. >> eric: the uprising in egypt could spark a show down tomorrow in iran. opposition leaders there are calling for a peaceful rally tomorrow morning, in support of egypt an tunisia and the iranian government warns any demonstration will be considered illegal and protesters will not be given a permit for, quote, staging a riot. and coming up, a fox news exclusive, we'll talk with prince pavlavi, the son of the shah of iran who will fill us in about the protests scheduled for tomorrow and what can happen and the question will a popular up rising like in egypt ever topple a mahmoud ahmadinejad and mullahs in iran and could egypt's revolution go the way of the 1979 iranian revolution with radical islamists in charge, prince pahlavi lived it all and is with us, next, in this next hour.
10:09 am
>> jamie: the battle over government spending about to kick into high gear, because, president obama will release his budget plan for 2012. that is the budget that goes into place in october. and happens tomorrow. calling for what he says are difficult cuts, the president wants to trim the deficit by $1.1 trillion, over the next decade. but, critics argue that even deeper cuts are needed. peter doocy has details, live from washington. hi, peter. >> james, lots of people propose on valentine's dae and president obama will propose his budget tomorrow, and he says it will shave $1.1 trillion off the deficit in the next ten years and 2/3 will be with cuts and 2/3 of those cuts, are coming from a combination of a five-year freeze on nonsecurity spending and mandatory savings and lower interest payments and also, bush era tax cuts for the wealthy, will go away, and that will not count towards the $1.1 trillion. >> president barack obama:
10:10 am
families across this country understand what it takes to manage a budget. they understand what it takes to make ends meet without foregoing important investments like education and well it is time washington acted as responsibly as our families do and on monday i propose a new budget that will help us live within our means while investing in our future. >> and the investment in the future, the president speaks of, will include less money going toward helping low income families power their homes, and less money going toward airport grants and less money going to the pentagon in areas that have already been okayed by the defense secretary robert gates. but, republicans say these cuts are not enough and we need more, or else. what i'm concerned about, is endless borrowing, which is going to compromise our economy, not only today, but in the future, because we know the decisions we make, right now, really dramatically impact us in the future, and, debt is literally getting out of our control and if we bring a budget that continues to send the debt out of control, that today hurts
10:11 am
the economy. >> and, the president's budget is for the next fiscal year, which kicks off in october and congressman ryan who you heard from, and other republicans, are soon going to propose cuts, they want to see in the current fiscal year which runs for another 7 months. jamie? >> jamie: peter doocy live in washington, thank you. >> eric: cpaa weighed in on what they want to see in 2012, number one again, texas congressman ron paul who came out on top the necked year in a row and he was followed by former massachusetts governor mitt romney and the new jersey governor, chris christie and former new mexico governor gary johnson who spent most of his speech advocating the legislation of marijuana. and when it comes to actually winning the white house, congressman paul is not really considered the strongest con tender and why isn't there a clear front return? david drucker staff writer for "roll call" joins us now as he
10:12 am
frequently does on sunday mornings. >> good morning. >> eric: what does it mean? ron paul keeps on winning this thing! >> and ron paul may go on and continue to win it, year after year and i don't think it will have an effect on the republican presidential field. look, you mentioned something that is interesting, and that is we don't have a front-runner yet but i think that is because it is very early and many of the candidates are hedging and trying to tread lightly, nobody wants to get out of the gate too fast and, peak too early an disappear and i think a lot of these guys are taking their time, and, you know, we don't really have a real true candidate field yet. we have a lot of likely potential, we are sure they'll run-type candidates but not many who are actually in and ron paul is not sure if he'll run again. >> eric: you talk about potential candidates and you have the names, sarah palin, tim paw lentslenty you, mike huckab cetera, it's, what does it break for one of them to break out? a lot of talk, sarah palin appointed a chief of staff with
10:13 am
national experience. >> you know, it is a good question, what will push one of those guys to be in or out and you will see someone like senator john thune from south dakota announce by the end of february and first he said he'll announce by the end of february and is unknown nationally and, someone like him, understands that he needs to get in earlier than other candidates to build name i.d. and to raise money. other candidates like mitt romney, tim pawlenty, sarah palin, they really have carte blanche to get in almost as late as they want and don't forget in 1991, bill clinton did not get into the race until the fall or very late summer. everybody thought president bush was too formidable and thought mario cuomo, the new york governor would run and, here you go at the end of it, the thing, bill clinton gets in and runs away with it and there is still plenty of time. i'm skeptical that any potential candidate with it a tv contract will get in, when you make a lot of money in the media and have been in public service before you are likely to want to stay there but i think we'll see tim
10:14 am
pawlenty, mitt romney, possibly job thune, and, some others get into the race and i think you will start to see more movement in the spring and possibly for some of these guys not until summer and possibly early fall. >> eric: you made a good point. in the past. only al gore and george mcgovern were the ones who announced first and did end up on top for november for the race. >> correct. and, don't forget, in 2007, mitt romney was in extremely early. and, and it didn't end up doing him much good. we had a front-runner, john mccain, who was then left for dead and all of a sudden was the front-runner again when it counted and everybody is trying to get the timing right, and, they are trying to position themselves correctly, and, trying to see what everybody else does. and, there is not an exact science, it is like an art form and if you are a known quantity, and, some of these people are, they are going to be able to raise the money they need to be, to be competitive in the
10:15 am
primary. i think that everybody is trying to figure out exactly how to go at the president, barack obama, what is the best way to go at him and who will the competitors be and what is the republican voting electorate and the primary be like? will it be old school or more like the tea party electorate in 2010? i think people are trying to figure out their way but i'll tell you they are laying the groundwork. we know tim pawlenty and mitt romney are trying to line up support on capitol hill and haley barbour is looking at it, the mississippi governor and it is quiet and behind-the-scenes and, whoever the front-runner is today, it is irrelevant to who it will be when the caucuses and the primaries kick off next year. you want to be ahead when people vote an at this point in time a lot of that is name i.d. and recognition, not an actual decision process where people are thinking okay, who do i really want to be the next president? >> eric: and you know who will make it lots of fun in donald trump?
10:16 am
>> who? >> eric: donald trump. >> i hope he runs, president -- the movie -- bull fin. >> eric: with warren beatty? he'll make it entertaining, especially what he said at the cpac convention. thanks a lot. >> thanks, eric. >> jamie: details about a murderous rampage, people are killed, carjackings and stack and terror on the subway at the hands of one suspect, the full story is coming up and, also, there are brand-new developments out of egypt. we have told you how military leaders, just announcing they've dismantled parliament? the latest there and how the event -- this event today in egypt is playing out in the rest of the middle east. stay right where you are. we'll be right back. i. hey tough guy, that cold needs alka-seltzer plus! it has the cold-fighting power of an effervescent

10:20 am
>> president obama is set to outline his plan to reduce america's debt, tomorrow. he will release his proposed 2012 budget and on fox news sunday, our chris wallace sat down with the new republican chairman of the house budget committee, asking paul ryan how the g.o.p. will approach the challenge.
10:21 am
and, specifically, about reforming the biggest budget buster entitlements. >> we expect and hope the president will actually lead on this crisis. this debt crisis. and preempt it. everybody knows the sooner you deal with this the better off everybody is, and, if the president doesn't want to lead on entitlements he's not leading and, we do hope and plan on dealing with these issues. >> jamie: joining me now the anchor of fox news sunday, chris wallace, good morning! >> chris: good morning, jamie. >> jamie: not everybody is in agreement, that has to vote on what should be cut and what should be spent and what sense did you get about what the republicans would agree to? >> talking about entitlements? or in the discretionary spending budget? >> jamie: budget, generally. >> chris: okay, first of all, all the talk in the next week will be -- and that is partly why i got into entitlements, on a small piece of the pie, 15%, what nondefense discretionary spending is, and, the president
10:22 am
is going to propose a budget we're told would, they say, cut the deficit $1 trillion over the next decade, and primarily through a freeze on discretionary spending more five years and they say that would save $400 billion, and, also, some revenue increases. the republicans and particularly paul ryan, as you say, the head of the budget committee, says that that is not nearly enough and they have to cut and in fact will propose in the current year, before we even get to the 2012 budget, the president is talking about, to cut $60 billion of discretionary spending and then you get to entitlements, which is 40% of the budget and both sides, if you can hear there, are a little bit scared to go first and want the other side to go, because it is so politically explosive when you get to social security and medicare and medicaid. >> jamie: and education, pel grants, things the president wants to cut and i lack at t i
10:23 am
numbers of what the president is expected to cut, not everybody reads every page or paragraph, has someone done the math to show what the cuts will lead to? will it lead to the cut in the deficit that the president believes and -- >> we don't know. it hasn't been formally unveiled until tomorrow and you bring up a good point, jamie and that is, talking about cutting the deficit in general, is very popular and people say, cut it and then cut it more. but, we do know what the republican cuts will be, because they have announced them, things like a billion dollars from the national institutes of health, $600 million from border security and then immigration enforcement. and, $500 million from the cops program which puts more police on the street. you know, it is one thing to talk about spending cuts and when you get into specific programs a lot of which are very popular with people, that is going to be interesting to see. will they really go along with that, and that is one of the reasons cutting the budget has
10:24 am
been so hard. >> chris: let me double check. you said republicans wants to make those cuts on the... >> chris: yes. >> jamie: interesting. >> chris: part of their $60 billion en cuts ain cuts and the tough. >> jamie: and that is now, not the 2012 budget. >> chris: between now and the end of the fiscal year in october, want to take $60 billion out and when you do that it is not waste, fraud and abuse, you are getting into muscle and even bone. >> jamie: it will be interesting to see the response as we get detailses. chris, we look forward to the interview, thanks for giving us a preview. >> chris: you bet, thank you. >> jamie: a lot more coming up on fox news sunday, he sits down with haley barbour, mississippi's republican governor, fresh off the speech at cpac, the conservative political action conference. check local listings for types and the channel hope to fox broadcast network and you can watch fox news sunday here, 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern. >> eric: new warnings from the top government official today saying that homegrown terrorism

10:31 am
a study came out this week with new research unveiled the international stroke conference and found that people who drink diet sodas every day even one, have a 61% higher risk of stroke and heart attack, and, there are many scientists not involved with the study who are heavyicod with the study, who say there is link. can we have the diet soda or not. >> i must tell you i'm not convinced by the study. the mechanism by which it was done or convinced by the conclusions and i find it very -- they do not offer any explanation of what it is in the soda that causes it. and, my advice to our viewers is to, you know, have a diet soda when you want it, but, some of my patients, for example, have 6 and 8 a day and that is wrong and if you want a diet soda, i
10:32 am
don't think this study which is a preliminary one, should discourage you from doing it. >> eric: all right. >> jamie: once in a while, moderation, again. >> eric: he always tells us that. there is a health dilemma a lot of people face. if you are trying to quit smoking and get healthier, a lot of people complain they gain weight and so, what do you do about that, doctor? if you are trying to quit, yet gain weight, isn't that unhealthy, too? >> yes. but there are ways to deal with weight. i mean, stopping smoking is one thing. weight is another. you determine your weight by the amount of calories in versus the amount of calories out. you exercise, you watch what you eat. you count your calories and it has nothing do with anything else. there is no magic away of losing weight. >> eric: and you have said the most important thing is to stop smoking. >> yes. stop smoking.
10:33 am
>> jamie: people who smoke cigarettes, d.c., s doc, say th who smoke and stop, gain weight. >> there is evidence, people who smoke and stop gain weight and, they do, because they eat more and, it is because they eat more, but one thing has nothing to do with another. smoking is bad. smoking causes a rise in the bad cholesterol, did you know that? >> jamie: i didn't. >> and raiseses the s ths the h the bad cholesterol and is bad for your vascular system and bad for your heart and causes -- makes you vulnerable to cancer and, all kinds of things. so, smoking is not negotiable. >> jamie: and i love it says at the bottom of our screen, if you love quitting smoking, boost the level of good cholesterol and not only is smoking raising the
10:34 am
bad cholesterol, if you stop maybe you don't have to take as much medication. >> that is true. >> jamie: do it. listen to the doc. also, results of a recent study of 800,000 women, a pretty big study and they found a link between hysterectomies and cardiovascular disease. doc, we don't want either one. what should we do? >> well, we are talking about optional hysterectomies. some women below the age of 50 have fibroids, and may have other problems with their uterus, and, they decide to go ahead and have the uterus removed. and, when the uterus is removed, the doctors usually take out the ovaries, too, and that is not a good idea because it makes you immediately surgically menopaus menopausal. and this increases the vulnerability to heart disease. so, the optional hysterectomies
10:35 am
are not a good idea. now, if you need to have your uterus taken out, for whatever reason, if possible, the ovaries should be left in, because they produce the hormones that protect women against heart disease. when those hormones decrease, at menopause, women then become as vulnerable to heart disease as men. >> jamie: that is interesting, doctor. >> eric: the obama health care plan has been in the news and lawmakers are still battling out some of the details. but, one part of the law already has gone into effect be a many people may not know about and that includes physical exams for folks who have medicare. doctor, what -- is there a change? >> yes, this is very interesting. somebody who becomes eligible for medicare, let's say, you are about, what, a year or two away from it yourself, but...
10:36 am
>> eric: [laughter]. >> when you become eligible for medicare at 65 you are entitled to a full free physical. that is part of entering medicare. the news now with this, that the government has made it possible for you to have complete physical exam, not only when you first enter medicare, but, every year thereafter. somebody who is on medicare is entitled to a free physical every year. and that is very important. >> eric: you've always -- >> nothing more important than the physical. >> eric: you have talked about preventive medicine and protective care and they are really, actually, very good news. >> yes. >> jamie: this might be good news, too. i hope the answer is the one i'm looking for on this one, boy, is it a pet peeve, people who crack their knuckles! the question is whether or not it can give you arthritis. actually, that is a common belief. coming up the doctor will tell

>> eric: winds are fueling a raging wildfire in washington state, dozens of firefighters have been battling the blaze and so far, has destroyed 20 homes, at an indian reservation and emergency authorities say it started in one house, and spread into a ten that was all driven by 40 mile-an-hour winds. as of this morning the situation they feel is contained but remains hazardous, and the fires ignited thousands of logs of a local mill, and they say it will take days, before those flames eventually, die down. ♪ >> jamie: the doc says there is a new development for women who take hormone replacement therapy after menopause. and, when you take it, it could affect your risk of getting breast cancer. we wanted to you know.
10:50 am
doc, can you explain this? >> well, you know, breast cancer is tied into the hormonal environment that your body and appears -- there is a recent study that women at menopause instead of rushing in to replace their missing female hormones, should wait five years. if they wait five years after menopause, the risk of breast cancer from the hormone replacement is virtually zero. >> you can take a positive step toward reducing it. >> you have the menopause, you begin to feel symptoms and instead of rushing to take the hormone replacement, wait, deal with it in other ways and if you wait five years your risk of developing breast cancer is markedly reduced. >> jamie: suddenly i'm looking forward less to menopause, they really last for five years, the symptoms, doc? it sound awful.
10:51 am
>> no. >> jamie: you made it through fine? >> yeah! by the time you reach -- by the time you become vulnerable, i don't know how many years, that is from now, will be all different. >> jamie: good to know. >> people in their 20s and 30s, don't have to worry. >> jamie: love you, doc! >> eric: another reason why you should floss, that's right. floss. take good care of your teeth and gums. there is word today that a gum infection that could resulted in tooth loss can actually affect the brain. what is the connection here? >> you know, we all worry about loss of cognitive function. as we get older, we don't remember as well, and we have -- think we are losing our mind, and, this is very common in older people. it turns out that you can reduce this thing by treating your gums. making sure you don't have gingivitis and flossing and so
10:52 am
on. and is apparently -- there is a relationship between the gums and cognitive function. >> eric: and they say a lot of the bacteria and if you floss it gets rid of the bacteria that can get into your bloodstream. >> that is possible. i'm not sure i understand the mechanism. but, the relationship is there. >> eric: take care of your teeth. >> jamie: sure. and do you often use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs? sometimes they can cause cardiac problems. which ones they're saare the sa that if you have back pain or knee pain. >> the anti-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aleve is one of them, motrin or... there are several, they are very, very effective for controlling pain. and people use them very liberally. i have to give you a warning. there appears to be a relationship between the consumption of these nonsteroidal anti-in flamers to
10:53 am
and the more you take, the greater the risk for heart attack and stroke. you should take them if you need them but not on a regular basis and apparently, a review of the literature shows there are several of them, review of the literature shows if you need them the safest one to take is apparently, aleve. >> jamie: okay, doctor, great information. thank you. >> eric: all right, doc. coming up, the fear that everyone has been talking about... what happened in iran after the 1979 overthrow of the shah, well, could happen again in egypt, islamic extremists, the muslim brotherhood, eventually taking control. coming up, we'll have a fox news exclusive, the son of the shah of iran will be here, you know, he's the last crowned prince of iran and will fill us in on whether or not we should be worried and the chance of death to the dictator have already started in tehran. with rape aae aae aal -- will t

>> now, we are back with sunday house call and your house dr. rosenfeld. a healthy monday tip where the doctor gives us a quick tip to get the week started off right. what is the healthy monday tip? >> many people split pills. the doctor gives you ten milligram pill to take people will go and by a 20-milligram pill and it costs a little more than the 10 but then they split it and save money. it is not a good idea. the splitting is never exactly right. it is either too little or too much. it is always best to buy -- take the dosage that was prescribed for you and don't split it. and the splitting is never exactly right. you may be too little, too much. so the tip today is pill splitting is not a good idea. >> that is a great tip, doc. thank you so much. >> doctor, always thank you. >> the doc loves to get your questions. all you have to do is send them
10:59 am
by e-mail to housecall one word at fox news .com. for more information about today's sunday house call, log on to fox news .com/housecall and check out the great doctor's advice because not everybody can visit his office which i can tellle you is jam pack. >> she didn't mean the great doctor's advice. she meant the doctor's greated a rice. >> it is both. >> both, doctor. >> see you next sunday. >> thank you. we start with a fox news alert. brand new developments right now in egypt. the new military rulers there have been moving quickly to lay out a plan for an orderly transition. they are meeting some of the demands of the demonstrators. this morning the military dissolved the parliament and they are suspending the constitution and announcing a six month military rule until democratic elections can be held. all this while there is still some confusion in the streets.
11:00 am
take a look at tahrir square 6:00 p.m. egyptian time. traffic is moving again as the military tries to restore hour. >> welcome to a brand new hour of america's news headquarters. >> good sunday morning to you. i'm jamie colby. the stream of cars in cairo mixed in with holdout protesters and cleanup crews. they are there trying to get things back to normal. scene that may represent the challenge ahead for egypt. greg burke is joining us live. what is the latest from the streets of egypt and the response where you are? >> hi, jamie. there are those pockets of protesters in the square still but there is also a return to normalcy. the biggest way you see that is the number of cars going through the square. also the very important announcement that par lament has been dissolved and also that elections will be held in
11:01 am
six months. that it was easy to get mubarak to step down but that was really easier than what the hard part is beginning right now. that is to see who in fact will be taking power in the new parliament as these opposition groups, the real opposition groups begin to form. jamie? >> what is the reaction in israel, greg? >> well, jamie, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu repeated today what is really the key concern here and that is the peace treaty. they have had a peace treaty for more than 30 years now between egypt, a huge neighbor of israel. mubarak was a loyal ally there and they want to make sure that is kept. netanyahu repeating today that he is reassured by the fact the military says they will respect that peace treaty. he says the treaty is not only important for the two countries but that it is the corner stone for peace in the entire region. jamie? >> how closely is israel following the calls we are hearing about for protests in
11:02 am
iran tomorrow? >> definitely israel, they watch everything that goes on in iran. iran has got to be worried about the egypt effect, how much it will spread. there has been a call for big protest in support of the people of egypt. however, the permit has not been given by the government so this is really going to be a sort of standoff and the government has also arrested more than a dozen. actually 18 opposition figures. certainly tomorrow it is one to watch to take a look at just how far the egypt effect can actually spread. in the past, of course, the past couple of times when they have had demonstrations in which they have not had permits, the government in iran has cracked down really hard. tomorrow, definitely one to watch. >> and we will. greg burke joining us live from jerusalem. thanks for your work there. now, for more on iran. just days ago in tehran they were chanting death to america, celebrating the 32nd
11:03 am
anniversary of the fall of the shaw in 1979. tomorrow the regime's opponents wanted to stage their own prodemonstrations to support those in egypt. the government says it is cracking down to stifle dissent. what will is take for mahmoud ahmadinejad and the mullahs to finally fall in iran. the son of the shah in iran. he is fighting to bring back democracy to his people. good morning. thank you. >> good morning. >> we heard the opposition planning demonstrations in the morning in tehran. if people show up what do you fear could happen? >> you have to understand that the protests in iran have not started recently but have been going on for years and particularly in the summer of 2009 gave rise to the green
11:04 am
movement encompassing the great majority of the iranian people of different per situations but united in one single key demand which is the freedom to be able to choose for ourselves to elect who we he want, to have the liberty to speak, something that this regime obviously is denying us. it as standoff and a show of solidarity which a lot of people aspired with and in return what recently happened there can combatant be embolding and encouraging to my compatriots. >> the last few weeks must be poignant for you. your family has been forced from power. mubarak has been good to your family. at the same time the uprisings have failed in tehran. >> it is an eyre a of people's power. people who have the ultimate voice and have to ultimately decide. if we were to believe in that we have to follow that we have to think in terms of
11:05 am
empowerment. this is a different time. it is not the cold war and the west versus the communist block. i'm a firm believer in democracy and human rights and i believe in self-determination and what we are facing today in my country is a regime that has been extremely repressive. since you mentioned some arrests and some executions. since the beginning of this year, eric, over 120 people have been so far executed. that is about 1% every 8 hour. at this rate we might have a thousand people executed in 2011 alone. are we going to let that fly or for once say it is time to endorse and support the demand of people who simply ask to be heard and ask a choice. if ahmadinejad or the current regime is going to continue cracking down the question becomes what will the military in iran and revolutionary guards do. stand against their own people or ultimately let go of their hold on power to allow for a
11:06 am
transition in iran as well style magazine we saw what happened in egypt. the egyptian military turned the turrets away from the demonstrators and supported them and embraced them. do you think you could get to a point in iran where the revolutionary guard would even turn against ahmadinejad and even the mullahs. >> the army in iran is a professional army. the difference is after 30 years the big question mark is has this regime managed to ideologize the military forces. to what extent an idea logical armly would be more difficult to convince not to side with the regime and stand with the people. having said that in the last years alone i can tell you that in most cases iranian armed forces or military have refused to be used as a tool to repress people. they told the regime we are not going to do your dirty job for you which meant the regime had
11:07 am
to find elsewhere, even import foreign nationals to come in and crack down on people and they came up with a unit that is doing the dirty work of the regime. even some members of the revolutionary guard refused to carry out those orders. we saw those cases in the last year alone especially as a result of what happened in 2009. having said all of this, i think at end of the day i find it very difficult that the same revolutionary guard commander who fought in the iran iraq war to protect the lives of the parents of today's generation who are in the street demanding freedom to ask their troops to turn their arms against their chin. thachildren. that simply doesn't make sense. >> how do you get to that point? >> a combination of what we need to do as iranians at home. a disciplined campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience. we would like to be able to rely on the help from the
11:08 am
international free countries that are going to at this time change their overall strategy of unique dialogue with the regime to one of endorsement and empowerment of the people. at the end of the day, apartheid ended because the world could no longer tolerate it. the eastern bloc countries were liberated just because it was no longer tenable to live behind the iron curtain. when you look at the middle east our time as a region has finally come. as i said, people are now fighting tooth and nail to defend our freedom totally unarmed, total aunderequiped under a regime that is extremely repressive. the least we could do is stand by them and tell them that they are not alone, that their voices have been heard and my job here is to convey that message to everybody in the outside world that my come patriates in turn want to have
11:09 am
their egyptian moment and iran's turn is going to come up soon as well. >> it has to take more than support around the globe. it has to take some tipping point in your country for the mullahs to get out and i think that is one of the issues that people say what is going to happen. >> i think the majority in the clergies in iran who have never been part of the regime since the revolution are agreeing to the fact that we have to have a secular democratic alternative. in the best interest of the nation as well as the faith and religion itself. this is the most critical element to understand. the biggest damage has been done to religion and to the infrastructure of clergy as a result of an islamic regime that in the name of religion has committed so man many atros acts. the best way to prevail is find an alternative to the theocracy and replace it with a secular democracy. >> how do you prevent a radical islamic takeover frankly by the
11:10 am
muslim brotherhood in egypt. >> i can't speak for egypt or the muslim brotherhood. i can tell you how it is in iran. nobody more than the irani people, they will be the first town tell you don't make this mistake. we have paid a high price since 1979 and 32 years and counting we have been bleeding and suffering. the way out is not radicalism. islam has a place as a faith and it ought to be respected and people have every right to practice their faith but the human rights and guarantees and liberties that have to be in our constitution that protects whatever citizen's right of whatever faith they are or even atheis it t to survive. if you want to go the other route we are facing it right now in iran. >> tomorrow they are calling for demonstrations. we have reports as you say that they are already chanting death
11:11 am
to the dictator in tehran. hopefully it will not lead to violence. thank you so much for joining us here on the "fox news sunday" channel. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> president obama is preparing to unveil his 2012 budget tomorrow. a senior democratic aid sayle it will seek to trim the deficit by $1.1 trillion over a decade, ten years it will take. and do it with a mix of spending cuts and tax increases. steve centanni is joining us live in washington. steve, what are some of the republican reactions to the president's budget for next year? just based on what we know so far? >> right, jamie. well, as you might expect, some of them don't like this. they say the president wants to raise taxes and spending even as he makes cuts to some programs. here is paul ryan, head of the house budget committee on "fox news sunday" today talking about the president's plan. >> if he is talking about coming and having new spending so called investments that is
11:12 am
not where we're going. the great debate we are having in congress now which is refreshing is we are debating how much to cut spending not how much to increase spending. borrowing and spending is not the way to prosperity. today's deficits mean tomorrow's tax increases and that costs jobs. >> and the president said yesterday that his budget asked congress to live within its means but there is bound to be further debate as you can tell. >> it does seem, though, despite the debate that both sides want to cut budgets. the white house and the republicans, though, doing is in such different ways, right? >> exactly. there seems to be a race to cut the budget. the president under pressure from fiscal conservatives on capitol hill trying to cut $100 billion from this year's budget even before they move on to deal with the president's proposal for next year and one points to a rift inside the gop on spending. >> they got here on some of the wiser heads said whoa, if you start going that deep you are
11:13 am
going to hurt the economy, you are going to have an impact on jobs but others said, well, look, you know, we said that on the cam tape trail and that is what -- on the campaign trail and that is what it is going be. >> the cuts to the current budget still being debated. jamie, back to you. >> steve centanni in washington, thanks. and the republicans already sharpening their budget cutting knives in anticipation of the president's 2012 proposal while looking to carve $100 billion out of this year's budget. $60 million in this one and $100 billion overall. can it be done? is this going to be a knock down dragout. joining us to talk about, it the former advisor to then senator joe biden and brad blakeman former deputy assistant to former president george w. bush. great to see both of you. thank you. >> good morning. >> brad, how nasty can this one get? >> it can get real nasty. on the republican side debating
11:14 am
between the budget cutters and the budget slashers but that is great because both parties want to cut the budget in a serious way because the american people demanded it. it is the republican's concern the president will present his budget and we will take a quick look at it and then farm it out to the committee chairman and the committee chairman that is their real job is to dissect each budget that is under their jurisdiction to make sure that we get the serious cuts the american people de demand. >> and if the president doesn't get lay wants and he vetoes are there lessons to be learned from 1995? are those playing in his favor? >> there are a lot of lessons here. the president's budget historically is really the baseline by which the budget debate happens. historically, the debate has adjusted the president's budget up. it has been easy in washington to deal with the budget. the budget has been a story of reconcilable differences between the parties and the president. this year, though, the budget is really a story of
11:15 am
irreconcilable differences. the house republicans in their effort to cut $100 billion from the budget are going at things that are just flatout unacceptable to the president, the democratic party and i think to most americans. where this leads the debate a away from a hypothetical campaign of hey, let's cut the budget deficit to a very real conversation about what are we talking about cutting, what are the consequences of those cuts? >> the consequences are very real to many americans, brad. and they want jobs. and when you look -- >> absolutely. >> when you look at some of the items that are being slated for slashing not only by the president and democrats but by republicans, what do you think the job prospects are for folks? should there be some flexibility? how important is it for the two sides to get together? >> look, this budget must reflect the times and we are living in austere times. we are living in a time when every american is sacrificing
11:16 am
at home and government must do the same. we are too big and we take in too less and american people expect the federal government to be responsible. you know, it is amazing to me when democrats talk about discretionary spending well, it is only 15% of our annual budget. that is an outrage. we should be cutting back our discretionary spending which then leads us to nondistropical depressionary spending which must be he -- nondiscretionary spending which must be dealt with. if the american people feel we are being fair and across-the-board equitable they will sacrifice. this is a time are for the government to step up to the plate and show the american people yes, we can have a government that lives within its means, now it the time to do it. >> yet the president is proposing spending, robert, and you have to have money to do that. how will that be accomplished? more taxes? >> i think the president has been clear on specific cuts in the budget and talked about tax
11:17 am
in for the 1% of americans who make over $250,000 a year. let's look at how we grow. we have to invest in green jobs. we have to invest in science and math. we have to invest mckinley broadband deployment to stadiumulate jobs and create jobs. those are all cuts in this republican budget. they are talking with doing away with the department of education while the house is talking about adding 100,000 science and math teachers. they are talking about cutting, doing away with the corporation of public broadcasting. i don't know a mom or dad who hasn't put their kid in front of a tv for an hour to watch big bird and the cookie monster so they can take care of their family business. the wind energy, new alternative energies. >> okay. >> that is how we grow and we can't cut those arbitrarily. >> the president has been clear he wants an investment in the future. brad, i have ten seconds left. government shutdown, what are
11:18 am
the chances if it doesn't pass? >> i think it is unlikely. i think the president realizes how important it is that a budget be pas passed. republicans certainly do. we also have raising the debt ceiling which is the next major decision that must be made. cooler heads will prevail. we'll get through this. >> thank you, yes. thank you for your time. have you heard about this, the homeland security secretary taying that the terror threats against your nation now at the highest level since 9/11? the comments a sobering reminder that the government believes the potential of another attack is real and they say growing. so what else do we do to keep us safe? house homeland security committee chairman congressman peter king tells us, next. blams [ female announcer ] water was meant to be perfect. crisp, clear, untouched. that's why there's brita, to make the water we drink, taste a little more, perfect. reduce lead and other impurities with the advanced filtration system of brita.

welcome back. >> a sobering claim from homeland security secretary janet napolitano. she said this week that the threat of terrorism now facing the u.s. is at its most heightened state since 9/11. largely due to an increase in cases that involve home grown terrorists. joining us now, the chairman of the house homeland security committee, new york congressman peter king. congressman king, good morning. >> good morning, jamie, how are you? >> i'm great, thank you. but concerned as secretary
11:23 am
napolitano is as i know you are as well. what specifically is she talking about? >> well, we have to keep in mind that two years ago when she first testified before the homeland security committee she refused to even use the word terrorism. the other day she used it 62 times alone in her prepared statement. what happened is the administration realized there is a real threat from win which has gotten worse over the last sevennial years. al-qaeda realized it is difficult to attack us from the outside the way they did on september 11th because of the new defenses we have. they are recruiting from within the united states. recruiting people living here legally who are under the radar screen and have not been involved in terrorist activities before or any radical organizations such as the times square bomber, major hassan at fort hood and any other number of cases, new jersey, baltimore, maryland, texas, illinois, portland, maryland. these are people under the radar screen and the only way to find out who they are is we
11:24 am
have cooperation from within the community and find out who they are. this is a real threat and the administration and i share this belief and even eric holder who is probably as liberal an attorney general we probably had in 40 years he said he can't sleep at night because he is so concerned about the number of young muslim men being recruited to take up arms against their government. >> we had a debate on the government budget and if you believe it is significant that secretary napolitano mentioned 62 times terror where in the past you are right the administration initially wasn't calling it that. will you get the funding that you need to keep everyone across the nation safe from these threats. >> jamie, i have some concerns about this. i know the perhap republicans m a proud republican, that we have to make budget cuts. talking about mass transit and security grants being cut. we saw what happened in london and madrid. if we start cutting back on the
11:25 am
security we need to make sure that our local police are trained and have the equipment they need to monitor terrorist activities then we can end up being penny wise and found poolish. if we are attacked, apart from the tragic loss of human life, the devastating effect it would have on the economy is incalcuable. cuts have to be made but we can't just do it with a sledge hammer when it comes to homeland security especially in the most highly threatened areas in the country. >> how important is border security? >> border security is very important both the northern border and the southern border. we saw recently there was an imam they attempted to bring across the southern border. the southern border is so porous and my concern is if there would be an attack and from somebody who came across the southern border we would look at it in hindsight and say
11:26 am
why didn't we see this coming? such an obvious target for al-qaeda to come into the country because it is very difficult for them to come through the airports and very difficult to travel the way they used to but coming across the mexican border it is an ideal opportunity for them to do it. i would be careful also in makingmy kind of border protection cutbacks. >> last question for you. intelligence and the intelligence community. are they dealing better among the agencies in exchanging information? >> they certainly are. they are dealing much better among themes. dealing much better with local governments and our allies are much better coordinated. this thy is room for improvement and there will be some of the historic rivalries but it is lightyears ahead of where it was prior to september 11th, 2011. >> given the fact that secretary napolitano said it is at its highest levels we will count on you and i know you will count on us, if we see something we will say something. thank you so much.
11:27 am
>> good to see you. >> good to see you, congressman. >> almost 6:30 p.m. sunday night in cairo and major developments keep on coming in egypt. the military has met some of the demands of the protesters. constitution suspended. parliament dissolved.cium suppn elections in the future.less but what comes next? and how worried should israel be about the change of guard? the view from tel aviv in a minute. easy-to-swallow petites. citracal. that's really good! it tastes good, so there can't be fiber in it! it's actually got about half a day's worth of fiber.

israel's prime minister welcoming egypt's reassurance of peace. the country was israel's strongest arab ally and leaders worry that a change in leadership to potentially damage that relationship. but the egyptian military insists today that it will continue to honor the peace agreement with israel. this as our country sends its top military official the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, admiral michael mullen to israel. joining us is ambassador dan
11:32 am
gilleman. the question today, how worried is israel that all this could dissolve and potentially the muslim brotherhood or radical islamists could potentially take over egypt? >> well, eric, we in israel are watching this is a mixture of great admiration for the egyptian people, for the peaceful way in which they have brought this about. and great concern for the future because this is no small matter and in less than three weeks tunisia a major country in north africa and egypt, in both cases the leaders have left. we have seen the fall of the pharoah in egypt but have not necessarily seen the fall of the farrows because the army which was close to mubarak is still in power and that may actually be a good thing at least in the interim because
11:33 am
the army is the most organized well respected and western oriented force in egypt. and i don't think there is another force which is better equipped to steer egypt towards democracy. but, we still have to wait and see what happens. this cannot happen overnight. this is not a small country. this is a huge arab country. the mother of the arab world. we are very encouraged by the fact that the army which has good relations with the united states and has maintained a very close cooperation with israel guarding the peace with israel and also helping to fight terror has actually said that the peace treaty with israel will be honored. i think it is so because it is strategic not just for israel but for egypt and i very much hope that that will be the case. we'll have to wai wait and seet follows, how long the army stays in power and what comes instead. you have mentioned the muslim brotherhood.
11:34 am
the muslim brotherhood is an extreme fundamentalist islamic organization that supports terror and calls for the destruction of israel and if they god forbid come to power we will be living in an ugly and tough neighborhood with hamas in gaza and a muslim brotherhood in egypt this would be a very, very horrible scenario not just for us but for the whole world and therefore i hope that the other forces, the forces of democracy, of secularism and moderation will prevail over the extremists in egypt. >> you know what they say about the muslim brotherhood that they are doing the old statue of liberty play, the switch and bait. they are saying now we aren't going to be part of any elections and saying now we are not going to run. but maybe not in the future. if you look at the numbers the poll says 64% of egyptians view the muslim brotherhood as

positive. only 22% think the muslim brotherhood is extreme and almost half, 49% of egyptians support hamas. if you have these type of numbers, a potential support for the muslim brotherhood how could they eventually not be involved in an election? >> well, eric, you know, we have seen precedence in the very near past with the hamas taking over in gaza and with hezbollah taking over in lebanon. but i think what the egyptian people have to look at is iran. i think the same jubilation, the same happiness, the same pride prevailed over the streets of tehran in 1979 when the shah was deposed. and look what the iranian people who i believe are freedom loving well educated liberal people mostly got in return, what they got instead of the shah are the mullas and
11:36 am
ayatollahs holding their own people hostage and supporting financing and harboring terror all over the world. i don't think that is what the egyptian people went to tahrir square for. they want freedom. they want education. they want employment. they want to be living in a free democratic society. this is not what the muslim brotherhood promises them and therefore i believe that at the end of the day the pride, the honor and the freedom of the egyptian people will bring them to make the right choice and to choose a leader and a leadership which will give them all that rather than an extreme fundamentalist regime which will take them back to the dark ages and create another iran right here in the middle east. i don't think that is what the egyptian people want. it is certainly not what we in israel look forward to and it is not what the international community should seek or support. >> and just in the last 30
11:37 am
minutes here on the fox news channel the son of the shaw of iran issued a call for the world to support democracy in his country. live from tel aviv, we thank you as always, sir. thank you. well, now, it is time to look out for you. our brand new consumer protection segment and it is called take charge. what we want you to know is how to take charge when you have to buy title insurance. what you need to know when you are buying a home or refinancing your existing mortgage. and the big question is why do you need it and how can you save money when buying it? marina white is senior vice president of intracoastal abstract. she has 19 years experience in the field. and a lot of people will bury their head, maria and say why do i even need to know about it. it is not an option. you have to buy it either buying a home or when you are refinancing your mortgage. what is it and why do we need
11:38 am
it? >> when you buy a home, do you want to know that you own it? basically that is what title insurance is. you want to make sure that you are getting clear title from a seller and there are no judgments or liens against the property. and you want a company that can defend you and also pay your legal fees. very important. >> it is 100% guaranteed if the title is clear and you get that policy it won't have to come out of your pocket. what about exclusions. a lot of people say i had an attorney at my closing, to i have to read the policy also? >> it is a good idea to read the policy because exclusions are things that will not be included. if there is an easement on the property and power company has house. to your property you if there is a right-of-way and there is a neighbor that is going to share your driveway and that is critical
11:39 am
information really before you close. >> i have heard of stories of people who buy the house because of a deck or maybe they love the second story of the house and end up having to tear it down because those were exclusions. you pay money for the title policy. it is expensive. is there any way that you can help consumers reduce the cost? >> absolutely. you know, jamie, title insurance is a one-time premium that stays with you for as long as you open the home. however, there are other searches that are done on the property, some ancillary fees, there is overnight charges. those things can vary from company to company so you really want to shop and make sure you get the right company. in addition to that, if you are refinancing the consumer should really know there is a reissue rate that they might be eligible for. it is up to a 50% discount on their title insurance. will save them hundreds of dollars. >> if not more. should you use -- >> oh, yeah.
11:40 am
>> should you use the title company that the lender recommends? >> they should probably recommend a few title companies for you to choose from and if they have ownership in the title company that should be disclosed to you. the same with a realtor. a realtor might say oh, use your title company. if they have ownership it should be disclosed. you as the consumer you are paying for that premium so you really have the right to choose the company you want. you can call the companies they recommend. you can, you know, google title insurance. you can in addition to that talk to some professionals and people you trust. and call different companies. really shop it because it will, you know, add up to dollars and cents that you are going to save. >> sounds like you could get what you pay for. you bring up good points about how it can protect you, your title and save you money later on with legal fees. i know they always say put it in a safe place. now, i know why. thank you very much. nice to see you. thanks for joining us. >> you, too.

11:46 am
border childin including that 95-year-old bootmaker who tell us really it is the perception of violence that is hurting their businesses. >> most all big boot companies make wholesale to sell to stores and we elected to stay small and make a custom boot for certain people. there are certain people that want a special thing. try to get it just right. well, of course, the border changed a lot over the years. we do notice less people coming down from the northern states the last year or two than have been coming down. been a lot of bad publicity in our papers all the way about mexico and i don't know how bad it is because here we don't feel it. of course, the ranchers, they invade their land, they cross their land and there are a lot of good people and some people probably not so good. the old west carries and on on

and it is resented. a few hundred of them here. here are nice stuff getting ready to go. here is kind of one of our staple boots that we make a lot of that boot there out of shark skin. more color and design it being put on now than ever before. it gives a man a chance to if you wear colorful garbs, if you wear a colorful tie but you can wear colorful boot stops and i don't any. we can put their logo and their brand and some bright colors on the tops of them and they don't have to show them except when they want to. as far as the boots, the cowboy lure i guess you will say just doesn't seem to wear off. >> eric, because of that decreased foot traffic along the border many business people are telling us they are relying more on the internet for sales. eric, back to you. >> steve, paul bond who made

new concerns being raised over the average american's dose of medical radiation. some say too much radiation increases cancer risk and now the use of one medical device with a high radiation output is soaring around the country. casey stegall with more on that. >> the device you are talking about, the ct machine, commonly known as the cat scan. surprisingly, doctors say that the immediate side effects of medical radiation isn't really known. that is for a couple of different reasons. radiation can stay in the body for up to 20 years after the test and the amount used varied on each patient and on each test. radiation is measured in millly sieverts and a study in the new england journal of medicine estimates roughly nearly 4 million americans get more than 20 millly sieverts a year from medical radiation. people who survived the japanese atomic bomb were
11:53 am
exposed to anywhere from 50 to 100 mili sieverts. the food and drug administration is looking to make changes, by the way. for instance, requiring devicemakers to print the radiation dose on each film or image so that doctors and patients both have track how much radiation they are getting over their entire life span. jamie? >> good to know. casey stegall in los angeles. thanks. the protests in egypt had their effect. hosni mubarak now history. we saw it all live but did the media get its egypt coverage right? liz, next. ready sensei. hey tough guy, that cold needs alka-seltzer plus! it has the cold-fighting power of an effervescent packed in aiquid-gel for all over relief! hiyah! dude!

11:58 am
guys, you know, the east versus the west. and this is not a berlin wall story. we don't know where this is going to go yet and yet we -- the protesters have been set up as being on the right-side. i want to take particular time to single out anderson cooper of cnn whose performance was really shocking. any foreign correspondent or any correspondent worth his salt knows that you shouldn't be making editorial comments and he really became quite incoherent, accusing mubarak of lies, and though they may be lies and probably were, it is not in his purview to say so. and also talking about we mentioned lies, he felt a sense of betrayal and, of course, a lot of that happened on thursday after everybody following the bbc lead said okay, he's going and then it turned out that he wasn't going and so everyone sat around sort of sucking their thumb and
11:59 am
looking foolish. i would give it overall a c. >> a c. >> do you think when you have all these pictures of the protests that there really is enough informed analysis, you know, that we are getting a perspective? and as you say, predictions about what could happen with the support for the muslim brotherhood? >> i think that first of all, we saw one picture all the time which apparently bored a lot of people. pugh research as you know, does research on what the media does and said that 73% of the american people who view television said that they would really prefer to be watching stories, domestic stories particularly on the economy and that is what they were waiting for. so you have that problem of one picture. then you have the drama largely instilled by journalists of reacting. again, anderson cooper went on the letterman show to talk about how he was roughed up by the crowd. hasn't the
